His was a necessary voice in the Cuban music scene. Isaac Delgado’s return to island scenes ended a yearning for an audience that in the 1990s faithfully followed his type of melody, so popular and acclaimed for his way to respect the codes of yesteryear and by infusing contemporary concepts to the most important genre in the Cuban music.<\/p>\n
I thought about it when Delgado was performing on Friday at the Centro Cultural El Sauce, at the opening of Habanarte, the event that brings together all the arts and for ten days shakes Havana.<\/p>\n
El Chevere de la salsa started at midnight with a group of luxury with visible faces of that mythical decade as Germ\u00e1n Velasco, and followed by young figures in current popular music, including drummers JJ and Eduardo Ramos, all capable of assimilating and enriching with their contributions Delgado songs….<\/p>\n
To evoke this crucial stage in NG La Banda, the singer sang Necesito una amiga, considered a classic in the repertoire of the orchestra led by Jose Luis Cortes (El Tosco).<\/p>\n
Then he sang known hits belonging to the period when he decided to launch his career with his group. So people could enjoy his Qu\u00e9 pasa loco, soundtrack comedy program Thank you, doctor, broadcasted in the 90s on Cuban television; and the El solar de la California, the latter interpreted a capella for him and chanted by all present.<\/p>\n
The audience also quite enjoyed La sandunguita, No vale la pena, and Deja que Roberto te toque, a single by Candido Fabre popularized by Delgado.<\/p>\n
The musician took the evening to pay homage to the Cuban rumba by mentioning groups as significant for that genre as Yoruba Andabo and Mu\u00f1equitos de Matanzas; and also paid tribute to the maestro Juan Formell, who told him once “quite a few months ago, with the chorus:” Isaac, Havana had tremendous need of you. Oh!, Isaac return here. ”<\/p>\n
He also paused to greet colleagues who have contributed to make son and timba continue in the sound spectrum of the Island, the same artists who chanted and danced on Friday with Delgado, as Cesar “Pupy ” Pedroso (ex Van Van and director of Los que son son), Enrique Alvarez (Charanga Latina) and Ricardo Leyva (SurCaribe).<\/p>\n
With more than two hours on the stage of El Sauce, which was his fifth concert at the cultural center, Isaac did not let even dancers to stop for a second. A large crowd accompanied the artist and made \u200b\u200bthis again feel “at home. It’s my home and I’m on my environment, “he told OnCuba at the end of the evening.<\/p>\n
“Many people came that knows me as well as young people who have heard my music thanks to their parents. Luckily, I haven\u2019t lost it for the public and that’s important, “he said.<\/p>\n
Reminded that the Cuban music scene missed him, Delgado corrected us when he said, “No, it is me who needed the Cuban scene and have received the love from people, many musicians, orchestra directors and people. You realize that they receive you with much love and affection. I will feel part of the people, “he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
